ParticipantHi,
I have the old cdrom version of Quest for Glory-Shadows of Darkness 4. I want to install it on my Windows XP It says I need to download and play it in DOSBOX. DOSBOX will change my systems config. from what I understand. I have other programs that need thoughs config. to operate properly. Installing DOSBOX will that hurt my system config. and if it changes the regular config. than can I change them back and forth and how to do that? Is there a way to play the game in DOSBOX without changing anything to my system? Also the game has bugs. Installing a patch for the game will that change or hurt anything to my system or other programs? Please let me know? You can also email me brihn66@yahoo.com I answer to my email daily.
Thanks,
Brian

ParticipantDon’t worry it doesn’t change system settings. It just allows you to acces dos while in windows. I use it all the time. It helps to be familar with dos though.

Collector,
ParticipantDOSBox is not part of Windows. You have to install it. If you use the QfG4 installer that I linked to, it will install DOSBox for you, automatically.

ParticipantGo to the dosbox website, do a search for it.
The dosbox website has a tutorial for installing.
You may have to run the QFG install program in dosbox to install the game.
Then run dosbox again to play the game.
Lets say the game is installedl in C:\QFG.
You have to mount that directory in dosbox. Command is
mount c c:\cfg
you should get a z :
type c:
Should get C:
change directory to the game with cd\qfg
you should get c:\cfg
than all you need to do is type the name of the game exe. type CFG
The game should start.Remember to install the game first but just run the install progam.
After you stop running the game you will be back in dos. Just type
exit to exit back to windows. -
Collector,
ParticipantMy installer does all of that automatically and much more.
